Rules

I have this rule about sleeping. It has got to be 80 degrees or below for appropriate sleeping conditions. Otherwise, there will be difficulty in falling asleep, staying asleep and not sweating yourself into a nasty pool.

This rule came about in Bissau. It wasn't always over 80 degrees at bedtime, but with limited electricity and limited airflow inside our house, above 80, and i knew it would be a miserable night.

I slept miserably last night, and tried for a nap this afternoon.

Though i love the thermometer on my alarm clock, it also discreetly lets me know the temperature at all times.

As i just got up from a pretty fruitless nap, it is screaming 88 degrees. which is totally unacceptable and no wonder that i mostly just laid on my bed trying to not let any of my body parts touch another.

The problem with this rule is that i have about 1% power enforcing it.

Sad.
